Designated Survivor (2016)
well done!
I've reviewed this show before netflix picked it up for season 3... so this is a review really of season 3. I thought season 3 was pretty good. I really enjoyed adding different touches of humor and crudity here and there so well done netflix.
It had a very good follow up story line, but the things that were a bit frustrating were the nations disasters they face... as you know in season 1 it was facing who bombed the capital and it consumed the whole season. season 2 it was who was really behind the bombing... took the whole season. In season 3 it was only a couple disasters, 1 a russian bomber in us airspace, somehow we had technology to miraculously turn the plane around... then it was over... second was a guy who threatened to kill everyone with VX poison gas... once he died that was it..
Not sure why they had to kill off Hannah wells, she was a really exciting part of the show that fun to watch what happens next type of story, so that was not great writing. I really missed Lyor in a strange way but was ok with mars. Also The ending left way to many open holes to fill. What happens to Emily? What happens to Kirkman ethical side? What happens to the campaign lady? Way to many holes to fill for next season. Anyway I was happy and was pretty awesome to see that they were actually putting in things that were relevant to the new day and age in terms of politics.
Alta mar (2019)
Very Good BUT......
I was very fascinated by this show. I usually hate foreign films that are dubbed over but that girl Ivana.. just is super hot so she made me want to keep watching. As I did the story line was very intriguing. It kept me on edge each episode. But the last episode the wedding was a bit forced and seemed a bit stupid because it was back and forth between both brothers, and there are a few plot holes but overall not bad!
For the People (2018)
Its great!
To be honest these young people play great parts... Its truely the new era of actors, Young and good! I love the millenial humor! In most of these episodes I can't stop laughing! The playful banter back and forth between the two firms truely is good and funny humor! There is not much of a story line in the cases its more of an underlying plot scheme. Overall I highly enjoy the millenial lawyers, that work for the district court. Great show!
Proven Innocent (2019)
Keep going!
This show was intriguing to me right at the first episode, it was one of those shows that makes you interested to see what happenes next, it doesn't make you need to watch it but draws you in just enough. I believe the last episode was not played out very well, there was way to much jam packed into it, and it did not give you a fair chance to catch up all the way with the clues it leaves. But Justice was served and there is a twist in the end which I was very suprised at. But not everything is what it seems,. Not a bad show at all! I was overall happy with it.!
Bloodline (2015)
Would be a 10 except for season 3
This show right off the bat is extremely intriguing. It takes your emotions in every episode a whole new direction. This dynamic between 3 siblings and the 1 estranged brother is phenomenal. The actors and actresses that play in this movie are nothing short of perfect. They fit the parts very well and actually act like siblings, John- the good guy, the fixer, Meg daughter, who is a daddys girl, and the one who keeps mom and dad happy. Then the younger son... who is a hot headed more or less bum that needs something to hang on to. Then Danny the estranged brother who is just the extreme trouble maker comes home to say hi... but get involved in something much worse that tips the family on its edge.... The 3 siblings have to do what they need todo to keep the Rayburns alive. Great show and extremely gripping! Must see!
Making a Murderer (2015)
Straight BINGE!!!
I heard a lot of hype about this show back in 2015 when this first came out.... but then tonight I decided to give it a spin... to my suprise I was not DISAPPOINTED!!! This show had me hooked. This poor man just because his family was different and maybe a bit hillbilly ish... got a bad rep.... It truely shows the injustice of the the criminal justice system, police officers, judges, investigators, detectives and whatever! THis is why I will never live in a small town, because prejudice is REAL!!! But overall I have found myself trying to be the lawyer for Steven while watching! I wanted to just law and order the heck out of this court case! But anyway this show is spectacular and I binged the whole first season! Well done!
The Blacklist: The Osterman Umbrella Company (No. 6) (2019)
There will be bad language in this review......
This episode was very well written and had a very strong plot and idea to keep the story of Navabi's illness and resignation going. I love Navabi's character as well as the rest of the cast doing whatever they can for her. BUT!!!!!! Haram IS THE DUMBEST FBI AGENT IN THE HISTORY OF ALL TV SHOWS ON THE PLANET!!! Its like oh what do I do now... Its like hes shocked about whatever is going on "this doesnt make sense" MORON! He is like a sad puppy that follows navabi around at her beck and call trying to be like oh I'm sad I didnt know, I thought I was protecting you... wah wah wah, cry baby!!!! I was literally screaming at the TV because of his idiotic!! Then he is just shocked when she had to leave on her own and hes is once again crying like a pansy! Granted we have seen his horrible sad I'm in love with navabi act before but this pushed it to a whole new level!! Other than that this is a great episode that keeps the story going! Well done in writing

The Looming Tower (2018)
Great political drama
This show truely shows the events and frustrations of government security. This show shows how the cia and the fbi truely were on 2 completely different levels because the cia wanted the take ownership of the caller and the fbi wanted to protect national security and america.... But then again this show is showing and in a way making the viewer take sides. FBI or CIA. I choose FBI.
In any event Great show and great policial drama!
Parks and Recreation: Leslie and Ron (2015)
Beautiful!
This episode really made me cry... It proves this show was the absoulte best at character progression. it showed the progress both those character made through 7 years of this show! Fantastic!!!
Parks and Recreation (2009)
To be honest...
Out of all honesty... I have watched the mockumentary The Office over 15 times through and through and I dont miss anything.... I have heard many mixed reviews of Parks and Rec over the years and I started it about 4 times but just could not get through 3 episodes... I finally took advice from others and I pushed my hardest through the 1st season... Thankfully after the 1 season it picked up and to be honest this show is one of the greatest shows of all times. It has through all seasons so many famous celebrities, like ginuwine, the decemberists, jon hamm, kristen bell, michell obama, joe biden, john mccain, roy hibbert, John Cena, Bill Murray and so many more! This is one of the best mockumentaries that really shows character development through 6 years of a characters life. the emotional, and physical changes, pregnancies, divorces business ventures etc... but they kept up the story line all the way through and it made it better each season. The relationship Ben and Leslie has is truely sincere and honest and #relationshipgoals. You have to have a macho man Ron Swanson, is the greatest fatheresque human who has a loving heart. Leslie is a perfect character for wanting to infect change and she is the epitomy of happiness and doing everything for everyone, and she and Ron have a father daughter relationship that is one for the making.
Overall this show makes you smile, LIL sebastian!!! it brings joy to your heart of how good it is. To be honest... it fell a bit overboard after season 6 where it should have ended but it wasnt horrible. Anyway GREAT show!
Bodyguard (2018)
story line is great but....
I really enjoyed this season. it was very well written and the story line keeps you holding on. BUT... you could easily see in episode 4 that David is innocent but he just keeps hanging on to the love of the secretary and his mental unstability. I mean it drove me nuts to watch some of those scenes just because its perfectly clear... but he just can't bring himself to say anything about anything. which therefore gets him further into trouble... but not a bad show!
